Like a fizzy pear flavoured drink, used the get it in Jarmans chippy, Belland Drive Lorries that used to deliver fizzy pop in glass bottles with 10p deposit Fine Fare supermarket.

Nomad Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 For several DECADES Stan Butt the Bedminster butcher had an advert at AG. That and the shop then suddenly disappeared. There is a Stan Butt in East Street but not sure if it's the same one - probably the same family. And there is still a D.R Butt (or is that Doctor Butt?) on North St...

Cotham Brow Red Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I remember even in early 80s being woken up by sound of mild float shuffling the milk bottle holders. Egg lady calling on a Friday evening whilst Crackerjack was on. (The Oo I could crush a grape Stu Francis version). Tony the ice cream van on a Sunday. The old Littlewoods Pools bloke knocking on a Thursday. Will-o-the Wisp or Henry's Cat on before the 6 o,clock news. HTV news with Bruce Hockin, Richard Wyatt and Sherrie Eugene doing the sign language.

exiledinwatford Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Corona and the Corona delivery lorry. Big T, Big T Ro-oll - in a ba-ag. People of a certain age will now have a bloody irritating jingle going round and round in their head for the rest of the day. Sorry. Went out one day to help my Uncle Tony (still an STH) on his Corona lorry round - he used to do the Wraxhall estate. Is that still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledinwatford Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jamboree bags? They used to have sweets inside we called soap powder sweets. A couple of flying saucers and a bit of licorice.
